CHICAGO, November Not the least
remarkable phase Of the bomb discovery
Is that il came about from the fact that
the Anarchist. George Enge, attempted
suicide Saturday night by taking an
ounce Of laudanum. About 4 leo o'clock
Emil Zoener, who is on the night death
watch, passed Engefs cell, and was at
iracted by groans coming from within.
On Stopping 10 inquire the cause he
found kngei breathing heavily and ly.

hlm by name, but received no answer
and ON opening the cell door discovered
tnat the man Was unconscious and suf-

ing drug After repeated auemps 10

alarmed and decided 20 call in DR.. cray

Engel came 20 his senses, he rayed
and cursed a being disturbed I'm his
sleep. and asked the reason of his
